Jesus of Naples. Can art be created using AI?

What if Jesus appeared in today’s world—right in the streets of Naples? This video explores the viral, AI-generated reels created by filmmaker and content creator Ugo Di Fenza, in which Jesus is reimagined in a contemporary urban setting.

These videos place a timeless figure face-to-face with the challenges of a complex city like Naples, from mass tourism to crime and even TikTok trends.

 @vdnews_ita  met Ugo Di Fenza in Naples to ask him how he came to blend Neapolitan culture with anime-inspired aesthetics to create his unique and thought-provoking narrative style.

This video is part of our monthly “Art and culture” series.
